I have discovered in my short time upon this earth, the sure fire way to test if your relationship will succeed, or fail. I feel that I must preface this by saying, no, I did not come up with this test from this month’s Cosmo. Without further ado, I present to you the way to tell if you guys will turn into Ike and Tina Turner (or O.J. and Nicole or Chris and Rhianna, ect.), or the people who live together for eternity. This test comes from our wonderful friends in Sweden and it only requires one simple task: the construction of a piece of Ikea furniture. Go ahead and try it. I dare you. In all of my experiences of watching couples take this test, it only ends in one way, complete disaster. Building an entertainment center from Ikea is a bomb that is filled with curse words, anger, insults, and possibly shrapnel from the screws and bolts that will likely be thrown across the room. In all my experiences of observing couples try to construct even the simplest of furniture pieces from Ikea, I have witnessed screaming and yelling that can only be seen at the end of a ten hour marathon of Monopoly.
Sure this may seem innocent at first, maybe even fun; but by the end of it guys, your girlfriend will look like that T-Rex from Jurassic Park and you are just sitting there crying in the fetal position. Consider yourself warned.
